Basically this Swedish study breaks down data from 1997 to 2006 and a third of the patients didn't get the treatment of ATRA (a derivative of vitamin A). The 30 days was the larger risk period of death and like I said treatment of this disease has greatly improved since 1997.

All I can think about is that Roy hosting that bone marrow donor registry drive two weeks ago....

I'm not going to cheer for his team. But I am going to cheer for him to get through this. This sucks.

Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

I know we have a poster who thinks the Devil owns the Colts and wants nothing but to see his own pockets lined rather than ever doing the right thing, or would even know the right thing if it bit him on the posterior, but Chicago J's opinion aside, how can anyone say the Colts organization has done anything but handled this situation with heart and class?

To me this whole thing shows that this organization is NOT the product of some disconnected, cold and uncaring owner and in fact is just the opposite. That's my .02 anyway.

Nuntius was right. I was wrong. Frank Vogel has retained his job.

I'm too young to remember or care about Robert Irsay. I would have been a young kid when he died in 1997.

But I do know that the Jim Irsay owned Colts have always done an excellent job of bonding with the community and handling difficult situations with class, whether it be the death of Dungy's son or the illness of Pagano. Irsay's speech in the locker room yesterday was from the heart of someone who cared.

It hasn't been an easy year for Irsay. He had to make a difficult decision with Manning and now is dealing with the Pagano illness, which is obviously on a completely different stratosphere in terms of seriousness.

I know people complain that Irsay made out like a bandit on the stadium deal, and he did. But Irsay has been a model owner. The team has done a superb job of marketing around the entire state and always makes sure to give back the community. I've never once doubted Irsay's willingness to spend or put the best possible team on the field. I think yesterday foreshadowed that the Colts are going to continue to be in good shape during the Luck era.
